RIP Alex Chilton - Hat City Kitchen, Orange, NJ - 3/18/10:
The night the world learned of the passing of the great songwriter/performer Alex Chilton, Matt D. and Billy - along with some of their like-minded musical friends - took to the stage at Hat City Kitchen to sing and remember. This rendition of "Kanga Roo" is from that sad night in March, 2010. It's a Big Star number that Billy and Matt played as Vestrymen...
